The polarizers

At American Thinker Doris O'Brien notices how Hillary Clinton in last Saturday's debate,

did something that Obama routinely uses to twist the truth. She flipped the conflict from one in which jihadists had attacked Americans to one in which Americans, spearheaded by the blasphemy of Donald Trump, are threatening to wage war on Muslims worldwide. As usual, she was far more concerned about offending Muslims than she was about offending Republicans, her absurd claim being that the Muslim world would get the impression that America is the attacker, intent on doing battle with innocent Islam!

Fourteen colleagues were cut down in San Bernardino, California by a couple of radicalized Islamists – and Hillary's playbook reads that we're the ones waging war! Incidents of retaliation against the Muslim communities in America have been practically nonexistent, yet Ms. Clinton finds it to her political advantage to whip the flames of angst among the followers of Islam and then blame Donald Trump for whatever ugliness results.

If nothing else, the viewers of last Saturday's debate got a bitter taste of how the Clinton campaign intends to slash, burn, and win. Realistically, her purpose will be not to wheedle over any Republican voters, but to drive the Democratic base to the polls in a frenzy of fear. So there is no reticence in calling out all GOP supporters as evil hate-mongers. The polarizing Hillary of 2008 is back with a vengeance.
